Security information has it that 80 % of the planning of the attack on the correctional facility in Owerri,carried out early this year, was done and carried out by criminals from Agwa Izombe axis of the state. Most of the prisoners who escaped from the correctional centre consequently returned to the area and constituted themselves into a security nuisance. Therafter, there were repeated attacks on police stations in the area. Many police men were killed and their arms taken away in the process. In the last last seven months, there were three attacks on police stations in the area. The last was on August 14th and three Ak 47 rifles were carted away, with ammunition.

Against this background, Soldiers received a distress call on friday that criminals were harassing the area and that one of them was with an AK 47 rifle. The closest military patrol around there went in immediately to arrest the situation from potential escalation.It was learnt later that the man who had the Ak 47 was one chinonso Ihezue, alias Obele, an escapee from the correctional centre. However, when the soldiers confronted the youths at the scene , Obele allegedly refused to hand over the rifle but tried instead to shoot the soldiers,who in return then gunned him down.

The youths consequently mobilised and attacked the soldiers, captured two of them ,stripped them of their uniforms and clubbed them to death. They abandoned their corpses and took away their Ak 47 rifles containing 120 live ammunition. The two soldiers who managed to escape called for reinforcement. The reinforcement came and started searching the area for the rifles. They saw military uniforms in some buildings and burnt some houses when they couldn't find those who clubbed their men to death. Incidentally, one of the soldiers killed comes from Mbaise in Imo state. He was posted from maiduguri, where he battled with Boko Haram insurgents for four years and half.

Because the Imo state government promptly intervened, the situation was quickly put under control.On Saturday the State police commissioner,on the orders of the Governor of Imo State, led a team of police men to the scene and tried to calm the tensed situation. This led to the initiation of a peace meeting between the army and the community. An agreement was reached that the three stolen Ak 47 would be returned to the soldiers within 7 days. This made the soldiers to withdraw from the area.

Lai Mohammad must be proud

Lie Mahamed of Imo state. You guys will not be in power forever.

Incoherent story unexpected from state Government mouthpiece

I swear to God,Uzodimma is the worst thing that have happened to ala Igbo after Buhari

You couldn't even stand with the people you claim to govern

This man has no conscience at all. I guess he is not coming back for second tenure hence his anti people posturing

So lie Muhammed have boys , you are a lier from hell Mr commisioner

They even admitted that soldiers burnt down houses.

How thoughtless is that?

It’s like American military burning down buildings in say Dallas Texas, because it they are searching for 2 people.

It’s like you see 2 rats in your room at night and then decide the best solution to the rat problem is to burn your house down.

Even if this story is true, the Nigerian Army commited criminal acts by burning peoples houses. The Nigerian Army has no right to burn anyones house no matter what they find inside it

Lies

this sounds like a fabricated story.

BlowYourMind:
ok

Mr. Better go and find something doing before hunger go finish u

So my question is whats the link between those houses burn by the Army. Does it mean that the army identified those houses that it was build by those people that collected the AK 47 from the army. This is really shameful that the Igbos politicians are the big problems the Igbos have. What a shame

How come no mention was made about IPOB? Please go and rewrite the story and include IPOB.

No mention of d voice clip ordering shooting/killing of any Izombe person on sight

So who pays for the lost lives and burnt buildings?

This fucktards must be crazy for writing this bulshit. Now that men now have iron too, I feel sorry for all politicians in the South East.

It's time to drive you predators out of power

But the one from ESN tabloid is not fabricated... continue supporting evil till your mum is gun down on her way back to market
